1997: The Purdue School of Engineering and Technology at IUPUI
provides technical assistance and qualified faculty members in key academic areas in support of the establishment of a new national
university in Malaysia, Universiti Tenaga
Nasional. Credits currently offered by IUPUI will be phased out
as the new university moves forward to create its own degree programs with a mandate from
the Ministry of Education.
1996: Students sponsored by
Tenaga Nasional Berhad, who had
completed two years of IUPUI credits in Malaysia, began arriving to complete degrees at the home campus in Indianapolis or at other
universities. Degree objectives are Bachelor of Science in Mechanical Engineering or Bachelor of
Science in Electrical Engineering.
1996: The School provided in - service training to technicians employed
by Tenaga Nasional. In addition to intensive instructional modules on various techniques of electrical engineering technology, the
School arranged for "hands - on" assignments at Indiana power companies.
Through the generous cooperation of Indianapolis Power and Light, PSI Energy (Cinergy Corp.), and American Electric
Power, Malaysian technicians were invited to work alongside their American
counterparts for 4 to 6 weeks at power - company installations in Indianapolis, Plainfield, Danville, Terre Haute, Fort
Wayne, South Bend, Petersburg, and Cincinnati.
1996: Articulation of undergraduate engineering curricula was established
among Universiti Malaya, Tenaga Nasional Institut of Engineering
and Technology, and the Purdue School of Engineering and
Technology at IUPUI.
1994: The School reached agreement with Malaysia's national power
company, Tenaga Nasional Berhad, to assist in the establishment of
academic programs at Tenaga's technical training facility near Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia. Course work is drawn from the Purdue
undergraduate curriculum for the first two years leading to the degrees of Bachelor of Science in Mechanical Engineering and
Bachelor of Science in Electrical Engineering.
1985: The School began offering credited course work on site in Malaysia
as a participating academic unit in a cooperative effort among Indiana University, Midwest Universities Consortium for
International Activities, and Malaysia's Institut Teknologi MARA. In 1995, Institut Teknologi MARA launched its own independent
program modeled after the cooperative effort and altered to meet local preferences.
